Mister A's is the penthouse, fine-dining destination of San Diego, and has been for over 50 years. Located just a few minutes from downtown, you will take the elevator to the top floor and look back out over jetliners sweeping past at eye level, the San Diego skyline, bay and Pacific, while enjoying Modern American cuisine, hand-crafted cocktails, and one of Wine Spectator's top-rated wine lists in the country. The culinary staff hand-selects local farm produce and the highest quality ingredients in every category to offer you selections that are made from scratch in house for brunch, lunch, dinner.. or simply the finest rooftop drinks and appetizers in town.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephane Voitzwinkler

From the OpenTable editors: This plush penthouse escape—open since 1965—reached new heights after a dramatic redesign. Thanks to a freshly added lounge, diners have better access to its skyline views. The French-American restaurant highlights local produce in throwback dishes like grilled blue prawns with charred shishitos and pan-roasted Alaskan halibut with corn.

    Incredible night to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Mister A’s and benefit the San Diego Zoo foundation. Highly recommend the lobster fra viola, escargot and scallop appetizer and the cheesecake! Wonderful view of downtown, harbor and planes landing from the outdoor patio

    Amazing experience. We felt very well taken care of, the server was informative and witty, and the food was outstanding and delicious. The prices are high, but I argue the food is easily worth its cost. Highly recommend

    We went to Mr.A’s for our anniversary. We shared the ravioli and tuna appetizers. They were excellent. My husband had the pork chop he said it was great! I had the octopus which had good flavor but was tough and required a steak knife to cut it. Our server Tai was charming and attentive. We followed his recommendations which were spot on! Excellent service.
